"Mt. Prospect’s loss is our gain—after six years in the ‘burbs, Trilokah moved to the neighborhood and brought excellent Keralite and South Indian dishes along. In their bright dining room, you can often find groups of friends sharing dosas and peppery Thalassery biryani with fluffy short-grain rice. At another table, a family might be splitting spicy goat pepper fry next to caricatures of Indian celebs. Trilokah doesn’t hold back on the flavorful spice, which is also a great excuse to get a refreshing mango lassi, too." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
